Jeanette was one of my best friends. I rented from her a cottage while pregnant with my first child, Zeb, who is in his 50's age-wise now! Miss her presence so much!

My family and I have been thinking about Jan on and off for the last few years, but I didn't think to look her up online until now. We are deeply saddened to hear that she has passed away because she made a big impression in our lives. I'm very proud to have known her and enjoyed her company while she was here. We miss you Jan!

Don; I was walking to Wright's Park yesterday, 8/8/13 with my Grandson, Elijah who is 9 Y/O now and saw the office building Jan worked at near 6th ave in Tacoma's Stadium district. I looked up at the names on the building denoting who was employed there, by happenchance. There were 2 lawyers' names and then Jan's name as a family advocate. I broke down crying because it was so unexpected. I miss her so much. She took me to the hospital when I was in labor with ZEB(Elijah's father) in 1971 and has been my girly-girl since(until her death). There I was with Elijah(Zeb's son) when I saw her name still on the building's placard; difficult. I loved her with all my heart and I hope every one of her family is at peace. Love, Nancy Garrison-Flateland

Jan,
You were a special and important person in my life and was always there for me, and always gave me support to push me and get me through high school. You will be truly missed and always have a special part in my heart.
Best wishes,

To The Fenton Family,
